Travelling to Indonesia - bandung

Me and husband decided to go to the tourist attractions places here in bandung. After doing some research before we go, that’s where we go. Supir kita hire 2 hari je sbb nak pegi semua wisata tu. Lain2 hari kita guna grab je sbb dlm town.

1. Tangkuban perahu

Tempat gunung berapi meletus. Its a history place. Lagi kita dekat dgn kawah tu, weather lagi sejuk. We memang bawak sweater dari rumah. So siap2 pakai je lah. Every one is enjoying their time dah. The journey from homestay took us around 1 hour nak sampai tangkuban perahu tu. 

2. Orchid forest

The next visit we go here. From tangkuban perahu to orchid forest around 30 minutes. Dalam ni semua mmg nature. Tengok2 pokok, ada animal show, basically sight seeing lah. And the views mmg cantik. Subhanallah! Balik tu singgah braga balik. We go for simple dinner. Zayyan and mil tak ikut. Balik2 kitorang tgk diorang masing-masing dah tido. Hehehehe…

3. Maribaya Forest

The next day, pak ardi took us to maribaya lodge. We had our breakfast lunch there. Snap pics, round round tengok waterfall dia. Cantik ya!

4. Bee house

Impromtu plan. Tetiba je stop situ nak beli honey. 

5. Dusun bambu

Sini tempat nya cantik. Again lingering with nature. Mmg tempat yang wajib pergi ye. Ada water attractions, ada water slide, ada buggy, dpt tgk mcm2 size pokok bambu. Pastu kids main golf put put kejap. 

4. Masjid Al-Jaabar

Lepas tu terus ke masjid al-jabbar, reason husband changed the route is because the journey took around 40minutes and the distance from waiting for a grab and the mosque jauh jugak lah. So we sembahyang jamak zuhur & asar. Tengok built up dia besar tapi belum complete 100%. Ada part yang still under constructions. Cantik lah tempat nya. Even though hujan. 

5. Kampung Daun

Tempat dinner yang cantik. The area was like kampung kampung. U can dine in at the hut each family. Tak yah nak campur family lain. Ada hut yang bersila. So we decided nak amik yang biasa. Sbb mil takleh nak bersila sangat. We enjoyed ourselves there. Sini dah tak hujan. Ok. Makanan sedap ye. Nasi lah. And lauk pauk include sambal. Nyumss!!

6. Shopping 

A few places, heritage, cargo place and rumah mode. Only zayyan and daddy yang ada beli kat tmpt ni. We all takde. Mcm short of time sbb shop tutup pukul 8pm. 

Drop us back at homestay :)

Next day banyak tempat lagi kitorang pegi. Kartika sari, pasar baru, and back to rumah mode. Pastu malam dinner western. Sedap ye. :) 

Travelling to Indonesia - kl to jkt to bandung

We parked at the long term car park. Pastu board bus straight to the airport. If masa pegi ok lagi nak angkut beg turun naik bus. If dah berat, camne eh? Hahahah.. if ramai2 boleh lah mintak sorang ke sana fetch kereta yang lain tunggu beg kat area arrival tu. Hehehe… Since we sampai awal, we settle beg dulu, print ticket and boarding pass and drop bag. Alhamdulillah it went well. Pastu baru stop makan before start boarding. Sbb nak naik train to another terminal. Pastu nak berjalan semua. And our gate is the last one yah. So memang jalan banyak lah hari tu. 

Alhamdulillah flight went well. Sampai tempat stay around  6pm. Macet org jakarta ckp. Sebab same time dgn karyawan balik dari ofis. Hadushh. Almost 1 hour baru smp dari airport ye. Apa2 pun lelap lah kejap dlm grab car sementara nak smp hotel. :) and lucky malam tu dinner kat sebelah hotel je. Jalan kaki. Since timing diorang satu jam lambat tp maghrib masuk pukul 6pm so everything kena dipercepatkan. Kalo tak perut masuk angin. Tmpt mkn Remboelan. Nice! Boleh pegi lagi. Recommended. Balik tu rehat and prepare utk esok nya. Nak ke bandung.  Naik whoosh. As i said earlier, currently our bags are light. Takde brg sgt plus sorang satu bag and in our group ada budak 8 thn and en elderly aged 72. So utk sorang2 angkat bag masing2 tu ok lagi lah. That’s why kita naik whoosh. Hehehe.. nak experienced keretapi laju kat indonesia. Tiket whoosh semua dah beli siap2 online masa kat malaysia. Print ticket sendiri. Sampai halim station, officer ckp takyah print apa2 lagi. Cuma kena save siap2 qrcode for each passenger sbb nak scan in out kat entrance and upon arrival. Semua smooth berjalan lancar. Alhamdulillah. We depart around 12pm. And sampai bandung around 1 hour later campur naik feeder train lagi.  Transport to our hotel took around 20mins. Sbb sini lagi jam even jarak dekat ye. Sampai2 homestay je, rest kejap terus keluar jalan2 nak pegi lunch (kita dah lambat ye) sbb baru nak makan pukul 2pm sana. Kalau sini dah pukul 3pm. Hahahaha.. hoping for takde yang angin. Risau jugak. Ubat angin kids and adults semua standby je bawak. Huhu… sini we walked from our place. Sambel hijo. Pastu terus ke m collections nak setel baju raya semua. Sini we spend around 2 hours. Siap tempah and they can post to malaysia. Macam macam style ye ada. Mostly kebaya. Haha.. me zara and mil. The boys pun ada baju melayu. Nanti kita snap picture. Lepas tu terus ke d fashion tempah suite daddy. Sebab tu mostly the main reason kita datang bandung kan. ;) situ sekejap je lah. Tak sampai 2 hours. After that balik homestay. Letak barang. Terus ke braga street. It’s like the bukit bintang in kl lah. Packed ye sbb malam minggu. And the music is everywhere. Tepi jalan, dalam kedai, luar kedai, tengah jalan. Alhamdulillah. Another culture and experience to feel. :)

Travelling to Indonesia - preparation

Husband decided to bring along his mom together for this trip jakarta-bandung as his mom said, “bang, mak rasa nak ikut nko lah jalan-jalan ke luar negara” as a good son, so he worked hard and his mom’s wish is granted. Mmg mula2 plan kita small family je. Sometimes ada rasa mcm alaaaa why? Hurmm.. then fikir2 positif. Ok lah. Proceed je lah. So we have been flight ticket hunting since sept and october cam tu. Sampai at one point i fikir malas lah nak search search lagi sbb dates belum confirm lagi. Kejap end november. Kejap december. Last2 lepas date dah confirm baru search. Tak tunggu lama. Dalam masa 2-3 days lepas dates confirmed, we bought the flight tickets. Itupun website MAS asik kena refresh and refresh. Masa tengah isi details. Last2 the second night tu dapat book. Alhamdulillah. Dari situ bermula lah searching for accommodation, tempat mana nak pergi, mode of transport lain sbb nak ke 2 tempat yg berbeza. Supir. Makan. Souveniers. Shopping. Waduh! 

So mommy as usual, list of barang2 nak bawak and barang2 nak di beli semua ada dalam list. Nak kena cover semua aspects, baju yg mencukupi utk 8 hari, medicines, milo 3-in-1 pun kena bawak sbb kat indo milo rasa lain. cable/charger, all skin care, all documentation, all tickets nak di print kat rumah. Pastu masuk 1st dec husband start tak sihat. Flu, batuk and sore throat. And last sekali. Ayyan. Sama pattern macam daddy. MLm before departure tu, bwk ayan gi clinic get semua medication. And alhamdulillah. Takde influenza. Husband siap buat swab test. Sbb risau. If positive, kena quarantine. Tapi tu lah, ubat baru semua nak kena bwk on top of the other medicines. Mommy sampai panicked and anxiety (daddy ckp) smp menangis ye. Ape lahh mommy. Chill chill. Alhamdulillah anak2 dah besar so banyak lah jugak yang diorang tolong mommy. Mmg part jalan ni, semua org serah kat mommy part packing. Sbb nak susun ikut sop kan. Hahaha.. no lah. Senang. mana nak iron baju and tudung siap2 the day before. Handbag nak kena kemas kan. Takleh nak bawak brg sembarangan sbb kang tetiba kat airport kena rampas. so i ended up tukar to a bigger handbag. Sbb fikir nanti botol air boleh masuk. Senang. Especially still ada lagi anak tahap 1.

Travelling day. Memang pesan kat zara, dia yg bangun first sekali sbb mudah terjaga bila dgr alarm. We all tido tak delah lambat sgt. Around 11++ dah sleep. Rumah basically dah kemas mana yang perlu. Tinggal nak buang sampah je pagi tu. Alhamdulillah. Semua jalan as planned. Gerak from rumah around 7am. Pick up MiL then terus ke airport.

Hello :(

Feeling a bit panicked or anxiety. Mcm x cukup nafas. Lepas solat tadi doa macam2 pastu ternangis sendiri. Now in the car, pasang selawat all the way dari rumah. Alhamdulillah dah feeling better sikit. :) dah boleh tarik nafas. Called mom, she picks up takleh cakap lama sbb tgh bertasbih sbb abah belum sampai rumah lagi. Pegi main golf. Husband said mom pun mcm ada anxiety tu. Bila anxiety or panick tetiba ni, memang i akan istighfar and selawat banyak2. I noticed that lagi bertambah umur lagi panick bertambah teruk. Inshaallah dengan selawat and tasbih my mind and heart dapat ease. Alhamdulillah. Sendiri kena try buat tu. Nangis je if rasa nak nangis. :( semoga yang baik2 untuk kami semua. 

Last month of the year

Officially 1st Dec, abah’s bday. But we had a dinner a day before sbb risau tak cukup masa and busy balik dari ofis memasing. So ok je advance dlm beberapa jam. Hehehe.. semoga dipanjangkan umur & dimurahkan rezeki. Dah getting older. Huhu… 

Its my birthday month

Alhamdulillah! Another year of my years here. Terima kasih pada semua yang wish. :)

We had a simple bday dinner with abah & mama. Siblings lain tak join sbb its weekdays plus short notice of plan. 

Anyways, i enjoyed myself. Sometimes looking back at those younger years can bring me joy & laughter eventhough benda benda tu semua mengarut ye. :)

Hello end of october

Its the last day of october. This year. Left with 2 more months before the end of year 2025. As usual, to many happy, sad, angry, crying, sick, missing and more. :) 

I will recap all this at end of dec later. I like to read back those summary of year 2025 in 1 long posting. But sometimes i do go back to each posting to read what it is actually is happening at particular time. And yes so far i can recall the memories. :) 

Just done cooking ayam masak kicap. Now waiting to perform solat ishak before dinner. I already is lapar. :)

Till then. :)
